Genetic Algorithms for Optimal Reservoir Dispatching

Jian-Xia, Chang; Qiang, Huang; Yi-min, Wang - In: Water Resources Management 19 (2005) 4, pp. 321-331

The fundamental guidelines for genetic algorithm to optimal reservoir dispatching have been introduced. It is concluded that with three basic generators selection, crossover and mutation genetic algorithm could search the optimum solution or near-optimal solution to a complex water resources...

A note on solution sensitivity for Karush–Kuhn–Tucker systems

Izmailov, A.; Solodov, M. - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 61 (2005) 3, pp. 347-363

We consider Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) systems, which depend on a parameter. Our contribution concerns with the existence of solution of the directionally perturbed KKT system, approximating the given primal-dual base solution. To our knowledge, we give the first explicit result of this kind in...

The Employment Effects of Job Creation Schemes in Germany: A Microeconometric Evaluation

Caliendo, Marco; Hujer, Reinhard; Thomsen, Stephan L. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005

In this paper we evaluate the employment effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Job creation schemes are a major element of active labour market policy in Germany and are targeted at long-term unemployed and other hard-to-place individuals. Access to very...

Incorporation of Uncertainty in Health Economic Modelling Studies

O'Hagan, Anthony; McCabe, Christopher; Akehurst, Ron; … - In: PharmacoEconomics 23 (2005) 6, pp. 529-536

In a recent leading article in PharmacoEconomics, Nuijten described some methods for incorporating uncertainty into health economic models and for utilising the information on uncertainty regarding the cost effectiveness of a therapy in resource allocation decision-making. His proposals are...

Has world poverty really fallen during the 1990s?

Reddy, Sanjay G.; Minoiu, Camelia - EconWPA - 2005

We evaluate the claim that world consumption poverty has fallen during the 1990s in light of alternative assumptions about the extent of initial poverty and the rate of subsequent poverty reduction in China, India, and the rest of the developing world. We assess the extent of poverty using two...

Some practical issues in the evaluation of heterogeneous labour market programmes by matching methods

Lechner, Michael - EconWPA - 2005

Recently, several studies have analysed active labour market policies by using a recently proposed matching estimator for multiple programmes. Since there is only very limited practical experience with this estimator, this paper checks its sensitivity with resprect to issues that are of...
